Yon told the Command ant at Ciudad 'Rodrigo, that if he held out twenty days you would come to his relief, He held but for twice that time, and. you did not keep your word. It is then evident that you intend to do no thing fur unhappy Spain. In order to foment divi sions in it, you hold out hopes of assistance to it that are never realized. The French being provided ith heavy artillery, it will be impossible for me to make a long detence. Notwithstanding, I will shut myself up in the fortress, and bury myself un der its ruins, if yoo will send one Enghshman for two Spaniards to assist in' defending. it.
